Clinton 'appalled' by Muslim comment at Trump campaign event

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she was "appalled" that Republican rival Donald Trump declined to correct a questioner at a recent town hall meeting who incorrectly claimed President Barack Obama is Muslim.

Clinton has declined to take a position and expressed impatience with the Obama administration's deliberations over whether to approve the pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada's tar sands to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.

Friday morning, Clinton spoke at a town hall meeting at the University of New Hampshire to outline her campaign's $350 billion plan to make college more affordable and reduce the burden of student debt.

When a reporter asked Clinton how students should assess her college affordability plan compared with Sanders' version, the former secretary of state said hers was "more comprehensive" at reducing costs and emphasized paying down student debt.

Sanders' $70 billion annual proposal would eliminate tuition and fees for students attending public universities and would be funded by imposing a tax on transactions by hedge funds, investment houses and other Wall Street firms.
